There are two ways to create an event for UConn’s Events Calendar:

  1. UConn community members with a NetID (who are not calendar administrators) can submit an event to the Events Calendar.

  2. Calendar administrators can log into the Events Calendar dashboard to create events and manage their calendar(s).

See below for more details about each method.

Create an Event as a Community Member

  • Visit the Events Calendar submission form.

  • Fill out all of the pertinent information. Use of the Campus, Event Type, Audience, and Tag fields will help your event be seen in the best places and by the right people.

  • Images are encouraged, because they make your event more noticeable. Visit our Image Guide for details.

  • Click “Submit Event.”

  • Your submission will be sent to the administrator(s) of the calendar you request. Modifications to the event after submission can only be made by those administrators.

Create an Event as a Calendar Admin

  • Log into the Events Calendar dashboard using your NetID and password.

  • If you haven’t already explored the dashboard, please review the Administrator Dashboard guide.

  • At the top of your page, in the toolbar displayed:

    • Check that the correct calendar (a.k.a Group) is displayed if you are the admin for more than one calendar.

    • Click the yellow “New” button in the toolbar.

  • A new event page will open. Fill out all of the pertinent details. For more information about the fields in our Events Calendar, jump to our Event Fields guide (coming soon).
